(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Cancer is a major public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa where sadly, the majority of children who are fighting cancer die. The mortality rate here is estimated to be as high as 90 percent. This is because of an inadequate healthcare infrastructure, along with a significant lack of expert physicians and other necessary healthcare workers trained to treat children with cancer. One of the most predominant misperceptions about cancer is that it is not really an African problem. Yet, non-communicable diseases—cancer, in particular—...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – There are so many trends in the news that it is difficult for businesses to keep track of everything and know what is relevant. Yet it is critical for business and its leaders to be able to recognise the underlying trends driving change, to evaluate their significance and stay ahead of—rather than follow—them.

Helping to give a perspective is Sodexo, a world leader in quality of life services, which has released its...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Recent reports of domestic violence have more than doubled in Russia following the Government’s reduced punishment for spousal or child abuse from a criminal to a civil one. The shift has also sparked outrage from human rights groups around the world. The Duma – the lower house of the Russian Parliament – passed the bill last month, which has been signed off by Mr. Putin. One in three Russian women is believed to suffer some form of physical abuse at the hands of a partner, while 40 per cent of all violent crimes and murders take place within the home, according to the Anna Centre, Russia’s only...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) –Transgender is high on the American news and political agenda right now. In January, the country’s new immigrant detention centre, Prairieland, opened in Texas as a unit for transgender detainees, especially designed to protect them. However, some question whether holding transgender people in a detached, remote location will do more harm than good. Many of these detainees who have been traumatised by abuse in their home countries fled to the US because of their gender identity, only to find themselves in solitary confinement where the risk of...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) –Beach and sea litter is made up of discarded objects, mainly plastics, such as single-use bags and straws that wash up along coastal environments . Worryingly, in the UK over the past 15 years, the amount of plastics found on the beaches has almost doubled. Plastic trash never really breaks down; experts suggest if left in the environment, it will be with us in some microscopic form for thousands of years. This material is also toxic and can enter the food chain when mistakenly eaten by fish, seabirds, marine mammals and other organisms. Sadly, over 100,000 marine mammals and a million seabirds die every year from...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Where you aware that one in seven Americans will experience a problem with alcohol or other drug misuse in their lifetimes? Or that 78 people die daily from an overdose and that only 10% of those with addictions ever receive any sort of help towards recovery? Well, all this and more was revealed in the US Surgeon General’s ground breaking report last year, which put a giant spotlight on America’s addiction problem, calling for an urgent cultural shift in...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – The JetBlue Foundation recently partnered with The Greater New York Chapter of The Links Inc. to host a special screening of Hidden Figures specifically for young people, who are often under-represented in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and careers. This film is a powerful story, focusing on the three African-American women behind NASA’s first successful space missions in the 1960s. Starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe as the...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Prince Charles and his special adviser to his International Sustainability Unit, Tony Juniper, have joined forces with Dr. Emily Shuckburg, OBE a leading polar scientist, to co-author The Ladybird Book on Climate Change, the first in a new series aimed at adults. Sangeeta Haindl interviews Tony Juniper (TJ) and Emily Shuckburg (ES) about this book, on working with...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – Close to 100 percent of the food consumed across the world is produced and supplied by the private sector. This puts large and small businesses at the heart of the potential for great change in food systems all over the world, and that’s why 25 leading global companies have joined together to accelerate transformational change in our global food systems. Together, they have launched ...

(3BL Media/Justmeans) – India boasts of some of the world's best engineering and business schools that are a challenge to get into. Yet, there is a big disparity in the quality of schooling in its rural areas. Looking to improve rural education for underprivileged children is the Satya Bharti School Program, an initiative of the Bharti Foundation. The Program is focused on primary and secondary education, currently operating in 249 primary schools and five senior secondary schools across the villages of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and...
